Er, Roger, I wrote picking, not pickling. I don't have a recipe for
pickling them.... Sorry!

The recipe for the tincture is in Dr. Clark's book BTW.
Sharon, would you consider posting your recipe for pickling walnuts?
I've got several trees on my property and find the nuts very hard to
get into. Pickling them sounds like a good idea :-)

Also it is hellaciously difficlult to get the hulls off of green
picked nuts, and you will bruise the hulls doing it thus "damaging"
them and they will then turn black. I have been picking walnuts all
my life, I grew up on a tree farm. Brickey is right that balck
walnut hulls stain really badly. If you want to dye with it it does
not require a mordant. Use an Iron pot to boil it in and you will
get a reasonably black dye.
